AN EX Hooters employee has revealed the hard truth about working at the restaurant and the one type of customer she truly disliked serving.
YouTube user Julia Shalom Jordan opened up about her experience while commenting on another former Hooters girl's video titled: "The TRUTH behind working at Hooters – $$$, sugar daddies, rules, & more!!"
Julia wrote: "I worked at Hooters for two years and the experience was HARD.
"My legs ached SO bad…it was so painful. They would not allow the waitstaff to sit or lean on a chair your whole shift."
Julia also noted that the women customers "were worse than men."
"I was like you, I always addressed the women first and treated them like gold," she explained. "It was horrible to be treated bad by my own kind."

Julia was commenting in response to YouTuber Jade Amber's tell-all video about the job.
Jade said she focuses on the girl when she's serving a couple or just "generally gives most of her service to the girl."
She explained: "I had some bad experiences as far as girls being so uncomfortable that they don't want to look my way."
"Groups of women that come into Hooters, with only one guy or if it's just a group of caddy women … that's the worst," Jade said in her video.

"Some women go in there and they feel like they can treat you as some kind of trash because you're a Hooters girl," she added.
Jade, a mother and digital content creator, also talked about how upon her interview, the Hooters recruiter asked Amber to take a full body photo as part of the onboarding process.
"They take a picture of you and send it to corporate," she revealed. "So that they can basically have the picture of what you look like when you first started."
Meanwhile, another ex-employee has revealed the strict guidelines she had to follow at the restaurant, which included uniform requirements that extended to her undergarments.
Before she became a YouTube personality, Christine Di'Amore worked at the restaurant in 2009. She also reflected on her experiences in a video on her channel.
Though Christine loved many parts of working at Hooters – like the massive cash tips she often walked away with – there were other things, like the strict rules, she definitely didn't miss.
"You can't have any visible tattoos," she began, making her way through a list of the uniform rules.
"The girls who do have tattoos in areas that were exposed by their uniform would have to wear this special foundation or cover-up."
Despite the sexy nature of the Hooters uniform, waitresses can't ask for long, red, femme-fatale nails when they go get a manicure.
"Your nails have to be clean," Christine explained. "They can either be bare with clear nail polish, have nude nail polish, or French tips."
The strict style limitations extend to hair, too.
"You can never have your hair tied up in any way – no bobby pins or anything," the ex-staffer recalled.
